VLC: Video Playback problem

Submitted by rius09 on October 24, 2006 - 10:01am

I had the previous version of Portable VLC before the latest version was released

And I was watching my videos just fine... then when I upgraded to the latest I cannot get playback anymore (I am using Windows 2000). What is the problem?

Audacity & Atrac

Submitted by Ollivier37 on October 12, 2006 - 11:20am

Hi everybody,

I've just start to use Audacity Portable, and I would like to know if it can decode atrac format ?

I can read the file, but I don't have the information as Artist or Album ...

VLC: Associations when windows access is denied

Submitted by Perfectg_uk on October 7, 2006 - 6:52am

How do I make VLC play any kind of file when the browser >folder options> filetypes change is locked due to user priviliges being restricted as they are on most business or mobile PC's. Eg click on a .wav file and windows media play tries to play it I can't change the association for the extention in folder options as it's greyed out? Thanks

Audacity Portable 1.2.4b does not start

Submitted by stek on September 15, 2006 - 9:56am

Whenever I start the newly released "Audacity Portable 1.2.4b" the splash screen pops up for a second and after that Audacity Portable kills itself.
I do controll the running processes and apps with Sysinternals' Process Explorer.

The same thing happens on a USB stick and on my HD as well.

Other Portable Apps as Firefox, Thunderbird, Abiword, VLC ... run all well.
So what might be wrong with Audacity?

Audacity: VST support and adding new VST plug-ins?

Submitted by John Kaufeld on September 14, 2006 - 3:36pm

I'm having trouble getting VST plug-ins to work. I installed them as the main Audacity instructions specify, but AudacityPortable won't display them in the Effects menu.

Steps thus far:

* Downloaded the VST handler from SourceForge and some VST plug-ins (Endorphin and Fish Fillets from the Portable Fish Phones guy) from another site
* Unzipped the files as the instructions said
* Put the handler DLL and plug-in DLLs into the AudacityPortable Plug-Ins directory (\AudacityPortable\App\Audacity\Plug-Ins)
* started AudacityPortable

When I open a sound file, highlight a section, and click on the Effects menu, I expect to see the VST effects at the bottom of it, along with all of the other effects. Instead, I just see the basic set of effects that AudacityPortable included at first execution.

Audacity Portable

Audacity portable would be a boon to anybody who does any remote podcasting, and doesn't have the same machine to rely on day in and day out. Anybody taken the portable version for a test drive yet?
